[QUOTE="smc4761, post: 604324, member: 119069"] Been offline for a few days now. On Wednesday i started off with a pain in my left ear, which by lunchtime was getting worse. BG at 1 pm was 9.2 so took my usual dose of Humalog and had lunch. By 2 pm my BG dropped to 6.5 and by 2.15 dropped to 4.7. I took a cupof coffe with 4 sugars and a biscuit. 10 minutes later my BG was down to 3.9. More and more sugar followed, are you ready for this, 16 spoonfuls of sugar, bottle of lucozade, 2 cans of coke, and a bar of chocolate over a 45 minute period. My BG went from 3.9 to about 4.6 back down to 3.5 then finally around 4pm it settled at a BG of about 6.5, despite that huge sugar intake. Next day off to doctor as ear was much worse. Turned out I had a severe ear infection. Got anti biotics and anti inflammatory drugs, but did not help that much. back to doctor next day and had a wick full of anti biotics stuffed deep into my ear as well as ear drops. The wick was removed the following day and replaced by 2 more, very very painful. During that time I did not eat a great deal but continued with my insulin but my BG have been veru high typically 12---15 Felt better yesterday and ate as normal, going to bed with a BG of 9.3. In the past few months my morning BG has typically been around 3 units higher than my bedtime BG. Of course this morning it went from 9.3, down to 3.5. Sometimes I just want to scream. There seems to be no pattern to my highs and lows My biggest concern is, if I have a low sugar normally a cup of coffee with a couple of sugars and a biscuit, sorts me out within 5/10 minutes. Yet I took a huge amount of sugars and no real change over about an hour [/QUOTE]
